Read my spoiler-free movie review of IT (2017)
IT is a movie based on one of horror/thriller writer Stephen King’s most popular books. It’s a story about the seven children in Derry, Maine who were unfortunate enough to encounter a monster in the shape of a clown called Pennywise.
First, a confession, I’ve never been scared of clowns, and since I also haven’t watched the 1990 TV movie of King’s book, I thought the above trailer would get me to the place where clowns become, you know, terrifying. However, as well-made as this trailer is, I honestly didn’t jump once. I just don’t think clowns scare me. They’re too colourful and synonymous with fun in my mind.
I think I’m going to have to watch this movie just to know for sure precisely where I stand with clowns. As someone who usually avoids horror for the sake of peaceful sleep, I’ll watch IT as early as possible in the day, just so that by nighttime, I’d have forgotten all about it. Sounds like a great plan, right?
Bill Skarsgård, Finn Wolfhard, Javier Botet, Nicholas Hamilton, Jaeden Lieberher and Megan Charpentier star while Andrés Muschietti directs.
IT Release Dates: September 8th, 2017 (US); September 8th, 2017 (UK)…

The Movie My Life 
So tired of remakes of perfectly good movies. What a waste of time and money. And yet, I guess it isn’t since people will pay to see trash. Watch the original 1990s version. You *will* fear clowns.
Remakes seem to be a necessary evil I’m afraid. As for IT, now I am scared to watch the original. I remain curious but I also want to remain a fan of clowns. 🙂
Then you cannot watch IT! lol It WILL scare the crap out of you, if you’re anything like childhood me anyway 😉
I think someone may have spoken too soon. 🙂
I think you may be right but how nice it would be for me if you were wrong 😀
